Don’t leave your used tissues or wet wipes behind when dining at #OurHawkerCentres! It is important to dispose of used tissues or wet wipes which can be highly contaminated, to #FightCOVID19, especially as we resume our activities gradually.

From 19 Jun when dining-in resumes, Safe Distancing Ambassadors at hawker centres and coffeeshops will be on hand to remind patrons to be socially responsible and observe personal hygiene. Let’s all do our part to keep ourselves and those around us safe. https://go.gov.sg/nea17jun20-hygieneathcs-toilets

During Phase 2, you may leave your home to smoke, but do so in an area where smoking is not prohibited, and observe #SafeDistancing requirements. To protect yourself and others around you, do put your mask back on as soon as you have finished smoking. From 19 Jun, Designated Smoking Areas along the Orchard Road No Smoking Zone can re-open with safe distancing measures. Smoking corners beyond the Orchard Road No Smoking Zone, can also re-open with the necessary safe distancing measures in place. www.nea.gov.sg/post-circuit-breaker-measures
We are all looking forward to dining in again at our favourite places. Let’s not forget good dining habits at #OurHawkerCentres to mitigate the spread of COVID-19! #BinOurTissues & #ReturnOurTrays, to keep the table clean for the next user and reduce the risk of disease transmission to cleaners and other members of the public. Eat from your tray, and don’t leave behind soiled tissues or wet wipes on dining tables. #FightCOVID19 #SGClean

The number of weekly dengue cases has exceeded 1,000 – this is the highest weekly number ever recorded in Singapore’s history. NEA continues our intensive dengue control efforts with partners and stakeholders, but mosquito breeding in homes is still prevalent. Collective community effort is urgently required, and all of us need to do our part to break dengue transmission by doing the #MozzieWipeout. More on how to fight dengue here: www.nea.gov.sg/stop-dengue
NEA Singapore pinned a 😃 sticker
Only sit on seats without markings when dining in at #OurHawkerCentres to maintain #SafeDistancing. If the seating capacity is limited, #BringYourOwn clean containers and choose to take-out instead. Let’s unite to #FightCOVID19 together! 💪 #SGUnited
Let’s remember to stay at least a metre apart from each other. We wouldn’t want all the effort and resources of the past few months to go to waste. Dining in at #OurHawkerCentres? Let’s not forget to #ReturnOurTrays and #BinOurTissues after enjoying the meal! #SGUnited #SafeDistancing #FightCOVID19

#LoveYourFoodSG Fried rice isn’t the only solution to using up leftover rice -- turn it into a delicious dessert! All you need is some coconut milk, a dash of cinnamon, and honey or maple syrup! Recipe here: https://bit.ly/36Wn8HK
While we’re in the midst of battling COVID-19, remember not to share food with others! If you are having meals with others, practise good hygiene habits such as using a serving spoon and avoiding double dipping. #SGUnited #FightCOVID19
To help you decide on your immediate outdoor activities during the haze season, NEA and Ministry of Health have introduced a 1-hr PM2.5 personal guide.

#NEAOfficers like Sulaiman work with these waste collectors to ensure biohazardous waste will be collected and incinerated quickly, in a way that is safe for waste handlers and the environment during the COVID-19 period. Find out what he does on our Instagram story highlight at www.instagram.com/nea_sg!
It’s always good to pack reusable containers in your bag because you never know when cravings may strike! #BringYourOwn 😊

From Jan to Jun 2020, we issued about 10,300 legal notices to homeowners and occupiers. Repeated legal notices that go unanswered may result in NEA gaining entry by force. Learn about what goes on during dengue inspections here: www.nea.gov.sg/dengue-inspection

‼️ Protect yourself from dengue
1,794 dengue cases last week – highest no. of weekly cases recorded

🦟 If you live in a dengue cluster area, carry out these important steps to protect yourself and your loved ones:
- Spray insecticide in dark corners around the home, eg. under the bed/sofa, behind curtains
- Apply mosquito repellent regularly (reapply every few hrs/according to manufacturers’ instructions & level of activity)
- Wear long sleeves and long pants

➡️ More people working from home ➡️ easy targets for the day-biting Aedes mosquito

🚫 Do the Mozzie Wipeout at least once a week to prevent mosquito breeding
1. Loosen hardened soil
2. Turn over pails
3. Tip vases
4. Flip flowerpot plates
5. Clear the roof gutter and place BTI insecticide

The weather can get quite chilly on rainy days. #DidYouKnow the lowest daily minimum temperature ever recorded in Singapore was 19 deg C on 14 Feb 1989? 
 
Who says Singapore can’t have aircon weather?
